Legalisation

Verification of Copies

A verification is typically used as proof that a photocopy is a true copy of the original document. It may be a copy of a passport or Birth Certificate or other official documents.

Verification does not have anything to do with the contents of a document. It merely confirms that it is a true copy.

Verifications are carried out by the Embassy's Passport Office (Monday, Tuesday and Friday 10.00-12.00 (no appointment necessary) except Danish Public Holidays & UK Bank Holidays). The person whose document has to be verified must attend in person.

The fee is £24.00 per document.

Apostille Endorsements

On 1st January 2007 Denmark acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention of 5th Octoer 1961.

When a document has been endorsed with an Apostille, it is in most cases no longer necessary to have another legalisation done by the Embassy.
